[Kotetsu was just on his way to meet Kaede at the school; he's been enjoying that, lately. Something very relaxing, walking your family home. Something maybe he's missed too much (even if he was late a lot). As he reaches the bridge between the two, he's cut off by the droids. Whatever message he was about to send out? It's temporarily placed on hold. His first thought is to keep them away from where people were most frequent (Kaede had to be safe; he couldn't let them get close; god, thank god it's not her they're after this time), so he glows blue and darts off toward the forest. One droid, hidden and prepared, cuts him off and slams into his shoulder, throwing him through the trees. 

The journal falls from a particularly high place, and lands open, flat. At an odd angle, Kotetsu lands on one knee, wiping a bleeding nose with the back of his hand. His frown is deep.]

Kinda' funny that you guys were massaging people's feet a month ago, ain't it?? I'm not going without some kinda' fight. Not when I got people who'll get pissed at me for skipping out on my jobs.

[He growls out something of a battle cry before rushing off screen, kicking off a large clump of earth, and a droid flies across the journal's field of view with a crunch; nothing it couldn't handle, because it's right back to attacking him.]



I got someone I gotta meet, you bastards! I can't be late--!

[Another droid flies, hits a tree. There's metallic thunks, distant and not-so-distant. Kotetsu's blue glow tinges half the recording blue. He was desperate to at least try--try to kick their asses and run them off. What else is there to do but never give up? They were able to fight off the droids before, but they're so damn fast about things.

Even so, he wouldn't give up. He wouldn't give up. He wouldn't--

[A gasp of surprise, caught off-guard.

Well, shit.

And then there's a thunk, but it's more... metal hitting a skull, than a tree. And then the blue glow is abruptly gone.]
